Inspiration | The Inner Path of Photography

Summer Classes are Here!

Happy Summer! It’s hot in Houston…but here are some classes that will make you happy to be here.

Check the listings here, on my website, and at my host, The Texas Institute of Photography for information and registration.

Enjoy:

“The Inner Path of Photography – Summer Session”
3 different sessions, daytime and night

The art of photography is more than knowing what f-stop to use, how to capture the light, and how to make changes on your computer to make the “perfect” picture. The essence of a great photograph, one that truly rocks your soul, is much deeper than that. It comes from within the photographer, from the heart and soul. This class is for those who want to improve their photographs and their lives by understanding and improving their “inner” skills. more…

“You are the Artist of Your Life: Exploring Life Direction Through Photography – Teen Camp”
5 days of daily class, 1-3 pm, photography and life direction

Did you ever think of your life as a work of art, with you as the artist painting the picture? Did you know that you can learn photography, and at the same time discover and start creating the life you want?…more…

“Cooper the cat” is the photographer in Seattle :)

Check out this article about a cat in Seattle that roams around taking pictures, and has a full line of images, t-shirts, and other products for sale.

I love the idea…Fun!

I guess this has been around for a while, but I’ve never seen the actual videos.
I think they’re inspirational; they make you remember that there are many different perspectives of seeing.
Plus the cat owners have found a fun way to describe and entertain you with their business.

What other creative ways can we find to see the world and share our vision?

Travel Photographer of the Year 2011 – Slideshow of Winners

Love this slideshow of winners of the Travel Photographer of the Year Awards! The images are wonderful, plus the narration by Chris Coe, the Founder of the awards, is a nice addition.

The images will be exhibited at the Royal Geographic Society in London until 10 June 2011. Admission is free. Let me know if you go (or if you need a traveling companion)!

My favorites (in order as seen in the slideshow):

1. The work of Quintin Lake, who is from the UK. Snow and water images from Greenland, that are nearly mono-tone. Clean, simple, beautiful. He is the winner in the “Amazing Places” category.

2. Jordi Cohen, Spain, the first image of his of a funeral in Haiti.

His use of angles, movement, and light enhances the emotion felt here and appeals to me. From the “Encounters” Porfolio entrants.

3. Ethereal images of a monk in Bhutan, going down a corridor, by Richard Murai, USA.

I believe it’s hard to come up with original work from Bhutan, although very beautiful, much of the work today starts looking the same to me. These two images have an 0ther-worldliness about them that I enjoy – the light, the movement, the space are terrific.

Richard is the winner of the “World in Motion” category.

You can enter for 2012. Here’s the website.
